<p>Now I'm no Barbie expert, but having 2 daughters I have seen my share of Barbies over the years. Last night there was a commercial on TV for the lastest Barbie toy, and I swear her lips were plumer than ever! I guess that would be collagen, I dont know. I do know she gets a new face every few years, and I should not be surprised since she is just a reflection of the crazy culture we live in, but ugh, come one Mattell!

<p>There are a few things that the ladies at BUST HQ have an unforgivable sweet tooth for: Babycakes, cheese (doesn't matter what kind), See's candies, and coffee...every day. We're fortunate to be in close proximity to one of the best coffee shops in town, but when one of the 'terns went out to do the usual caffeine run this morning, we were kind of panicked when we were informed that their espresso machine was down. Bollocks!</p><p>Thankfully for us, we have David Lynch. Yep, that David Lynch....DawnFri, 11 Jan 2008 18:36:13 +0100GeneralMen!http://bust.com/men-html.html
